ok, so this 71-year old Chinese man that you can so clearly see in the picture, calls himself ‘Electric Man’. Why would that be?

That is because he routinely has 220V of electricity flowing through his body, which he claims is ‘exercising’. (*GaSp*!)

So, what’s so interesting about this ‘Mad Electric Man’? Well, while he is charged up, he can do a lot of interesting things.
He can light lightbulbs (oh yeah!!), cook fish in 2 minutes at the latest, (that is fast!) and not to forget, he also uses his ‘power’ to treat locals for diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis and lumbago. Oh yeah, am sure now… I’ll never go to a Chinese polyclinic.

Something to think about… If he cooks fish in 2 minutes, how long would it take to cook himself? I am betting that to be about half an hour!

What do you say guys?

What are "Challenges " ? These are a series of hurdles in life for some which have to be crossed in order to move forward.For some these are just tests life gives us to make us stronger,For me they are both.I am a fifteen year old kid and I have faced very limited challenges and most of them were related to academics or family life.overcoming challenges seems hard but once you overcome them and look back you realize they were a piece of cake for now you are stronger.

Overcoming challenges requires immense will power and determination.For ex I rarely do good in Maths in school for I am not interested in it and therefore not determined to work hard.But these challenges are easy to pass.I have faced many tough challenges regarding family matters who are not ready to accept my views and who I am.But I went through all of these challenges and now I am more confident about who I am.In school I have to face a new challenge everyday.Everyday I have to understand and master something new and everyday my knowledge increases.Every day I have to bear my extremely bitter grand parents and control my anger. But I don’t find this difficult for man can do whatever he wants.So in order to over come challenges you need a positive attitude, a positive mind and the right amount of determination and will power.Along with this you need to see a challenge as a hurdle which must be climbed like a mountain for there is no way around it and no short cuts.A challenge is like a landslide and you have to move it out of the road if you want to proceed further and if not then you are stuck and will never reach your goal.

In short a challenge can be only overcome by one’s will power and determination to succeed.

Fooled By A Ghost

Loneliness what is it ?Don’t worry I am not going to give you an definition taken from the dictionary for I have experienced it and I understand it.First of all there are two categories of loneliness.First there is the physical loneliness the one which you experience when you are away from your loved one like family.For ex in a different country.Then there is the emotional loneliness.Your family and friends are around you but you can’t seem to connect to them share your thoughts or feelings with them keeping everything thing to your self.You feel as if no one really understands you or makes an effort to do so.

The second category is worse then the first one for you think there is no hope and you will be friendless in this huge world and have to live your life all alone.Many teens who cannot handle this pain of being all all alone with no one to share their burden restort to self cutting etc to distract themselves.But this not the solution. You should bond with family be open with them.They will understand you slowly.it takes time.Then you should make friends.And any ways if you fell lonely try joining forums,there you can find many identical people who share similar problems.And my favorite try listening to music.
To put in a nut shell loneliness is the feeling of being alone you get when you are away from your loved ones or are unable to bond with them.

School what is it ? Is it a place where a bunch of wild kids are shut up together ? No.It is a place where a child is not only given knowledge relating to this world but is also groomed and equipped with the necessary skills to progress in this world. And not only that school also allows a kid to get one of the most precious gift of life a friend who sticks with you in times of happiness and trouble.In school children learn many things and qualities like loyalty and discipline.For example loyalty to friends and getting up on time to reach school on a specific time early in the morning.

School is the place where a child’s character is formed his personality and his views are shaped.School days are a a preview of the rough life out side with it’s ups and downs.In a school we learn what it’s like to fall down then get up again to struggle and achieve what we want.

If a child has the right attitude and a positive mind then a journey through a school can equip him/her with all the necessary skills necessary for success.But if one is not strong enough to face the problems of present schools like bullying,pressure and unfair practices it’s difficult that she /he will be able to face the real world.

To put it in a nut shell school is a time in most people’s history and present which is associated with their most pleasant memories for you tend to remember the good things in life and forget the unpleasant.

The movie The bridge to Terabithia is based on a book with the same name written by by Katherine Paterson.This is a delightful movie showing the friendship of two children a boy and girl both from opposite sides of the community.The boy (Jesse) is from a poor family three sisters.He feels a bit inferior due to his sneakers and other accessories which are often in bad condition. The girl (Leslie) and her parents shift next door to Jesse.Leslie,whose parents are authors has a great imagination and quickly befriends Jesse who is a great artist.Together the set up their own imaginary kingdom in a nearby forest known as Terabithia and declearing themselves as it’s king and queen.The movies has superb animations plus a fast moving story line.It’s a movie for the whole family but unlike most movies this has an sad ending.
This movie provides a change from the action packed films with a charming story with no hidden mysteries etc but still keeping the viewer glued due to the charm provided by it’s simplicity.
